All India Radio (AIR) is digitizing its services and did a pilot near Delhi University, reports Hindustan Times. Given the high cost of receivers, AIR isn’t going to do away with it’s analog service. Some details of the digitization pilot from the AIR website here and here.
AIR apparently also plans to launch a radio channel on the Internet; I guess by the time they come around to it – the royalty issues that Internet Radio co’s are struggling with would have been been sorted out. Just noticed that it’s also applicable to mobile. Indian law hasn’t taken the Internet and Mobile domain into account, but this is a global precedent that will be considered.
